Two (or more!) heads are better than one! Let's talk about adopting as a couple, whether you're married, co-habitating, or dating. How does the dynamic of your relationship affect the adoption process? Are there any specific challenges or benefits you've experienced because you're navigating the system together? Or maybe you're further along in the process and have some insights to share on how partnering up impacted your home study or matching experience?
As a couple, did you find that your motivations and must-haves aligned? How do you navigate differences of opinions about parenting styles, discipline, or any other topics you've encountered during the adoption journey? Are either (or both!) of you parents already, or is this your first time diving into parenthood together? What have those dynamics taught you about yourselves and each other? And if you're not partnering with a significant other or life partner, what made you seek out a co-parenting situation instead? Share your experiences and advice on adopting side by side.
